Practice Makes Perfect is a B-Corp that partners with k-12 schools to narrow the achievement gap and create greater equity in the world. Since 2010, this has been done through our flagship summer program that has been recognized by global leaders, national news outlets and local politicians for providing low-income children with access to programming that has historically only been accessible to their middle class and affluent peers. Today, we partner with schools to deliver services to drive academic outcomes that help students realize their full potential.
